Nine Drinking & Dining Hot Spots

This buzzy corridor is home to some of Amazon’s newest buildings, including the architectural feat that is The Spheres. But did you know you can find French macarons, fresh-made pasta dishes, exciting cocktail creations, and plenty of all-day dining here, too? This mini guide will fill you in on all you can eat and drink at The Regrade.

The Regrade gets its name from the Denny Regrade, a major engineering project in the early 1900s that covered approximately 27 city blocks extending from Pine Street to Cedar Street and from Second to Fifth Avenues. This project changed the landscape of much of Seattle, essentially leveling the city’s topography to make for easier transit.

Almost a century since the last Denny regrading project, Seattle, and the South Lake Union neighborhood, have taken shape. Today, The Regrade is the site of major pieces of Amazon’s global headquarters, but there is plenty for the public to see and do. Amenities such as a dog park, free bananas from The Community Banana Stand, and an abundance of public arcades offering easy access to ground-level retail and restaurants can all be found at the Regrade. You don’t have to be an Amazonian to get the most out of this new neighborhood. Check out these unique restaurants and some eat and drink choices.
